Bonneau's wines exist on another level, especially Célestins. They are peerless and singular Châteauneufs.

Bonneau's unyielding traditionalism reaches its zenith in the Célestins bottling.

Célestins can age for decades upon decades without breaking a sweat. The wine has an unmistakable magic and a wild depth of complexity.

It's impossible to write about Bonneau's wines without sadness. Henri Bonneau passed away in March of 2016. Chateauneuf lost an individual who Robert Parker called, "The appellation’s greatest guardian of traditional winemaking."

Since Henri Bonneau's passing, his wines that were always hard to come by have become very scarce. This is a very modestly sized parcel of wine

2007 in Châteauneuf is a vintage of monumental scale. The 2007 Réserve des Célestins is mind-blowing in its grandeur. It has a multi-dimensional personality, it's a wine brimming with sauvage elements and mystery. Powerful layers of fruit and spice are wrapped around an intense core of iron, mineral and game.

Bonneau was the revered old wise man of Châteauneuf. Anytime that I have the opportunity to drink one of Bonneau's wines I get very excited. They are some of the most magical and soulful wines you'll ever encounter.

2007 Henri Bonneau
Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Célestins

Jeb Dunnuck for The Wine Advocate: "We finished the tasting with the 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Célestins, which had been recently bottled. It’s a classic 2007 that has overflowing kirsch, sweet black cherry, garrigue, incense and ground pepper aromas and flavors. Sexy, supple and hedonistic, it’s one mouthful of a Châteauneuf that has no shortage of sweet fruit, texture or length. And given this showing, there’s certainly no harm in drinking this in its youth either."
